Aggregate Acquisition
This Hyperion outpost is at the middle of the area. It stands on a cliff above Overlook, and is filled with Hyperion robots and personnel.
The Double Rainbow Easter Egg can be accessed by going past the Constructor and jumping down onto a cliff with a tent before the second pair of Badass Loaders. Either Handsome Jack or Claptrap will make contact, repeating lines from the viral video. Viewing the double rainbow unlocks the "What does it mean?" achievement/trophy.
